Chương 529: Progress

The Emperor had already transferred 200,000 troops from General Yuan and Qi Xiuyuan to resist the West Xia army. Although it was effective, due to the constant rebellions in various places, the cities that were recovered usually were not defended for more than three days. As soon as the troops advanced, the rebel army attacked the counties with very few guards.

West Xia had been dragging it out, unwilling to negotiate, but not completely rejecting it either.

If this continued, Great Zhou would fall into a dead end. The Jin Kingdom had completely restrained Qi Xiuyuan's troops. Even if the Great Zhou was destroyed, could he ditch the border and come back to fight for the throne?

That would be equivalent to letting the Jin soldiers in. His crime would definitely not be inferior to Li Zhengye's when he abandoned the pass back then.
